"Every state in Nigeria has one Federal University located inside it and that is a fact I believe everybody knows. There is also a Federal University located in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) - The University of Abuja (UNIABUJA). There is also the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). This explains why we have more than thirty-six (36) Federal Universities in Nigeria.\nMany admission-seekers looking to secure admission in Nigeria often prefer to get one in a Federal University or Private University but the latter is usually an expensive option, hence, many choose Federal Universities. This explains why Universities such as University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), University of Lagos (UNILAG), University of Ibadan (UI), University of Port-Harcourt (UNIPORT), Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) and Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) too many applicants than they can admit every year.\n\nHere Is A List of all Federal Universities in Nigeria\nIn case you even need this list for any purpose, here they are;\nAbubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi (ATBU)\nAhmadu Bello University, Zaria (ABU)\nBayero University, Kano (BUK)\nFederal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE)\nFederal University of Technology, Azure (FUTA)\nFederal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA)\nFederal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO)\nFederal University, Dutse, Jigawa State (FUD)\nFederal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina (FUDUSTSINMA)\nFederal University, Kashere, Gombe State (FUKASHERE)\nFederal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State (FULAFIA)\nFederal University, Lokoja, Kogi State (FULOKOJA)\nFederal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State (FUNAI)\nFederal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa (FUOTUOKE)\nFederal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State (FUOYE)\nFederal University, Wukari, Tarawa State (FUWUKARI)\nMichael Okpara Uni. of Agric., Umudike (MOUAU)\nModibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola (MAUTECH formerly FUTYOLA)\nNational Open University of Nigeria, Lagos (NOUN)\nNigerian Defence Academy,Kaduna (NDA)\nNnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK)\nObafemi Awolowo University,Ile-Ife (OAU)\nPolice Academy Wudil\nUniversity of Abuja, Gwagwalada (UNIABUJA)\nUniversity of Agriculture, Abeokuta, now Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB)\nUniversity of Agriculture, Makurdi, now Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi (FUAM)\nUniversity of Benin (UNIBEN)\nUniversity of Calabar (UNICAL)\nUniversity of Ibadan (UI)\nUniversity of Ilorin (UNILORIN)\nUniversity of Jos (UNIJOS)\nUniversity of Lagos (UNILAG)\nUniversity of Maiduguri (UNIMAID)\nUniversity of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)\nUniversity of Port-Harcourt (UNIPORT)\nUniversity of Uyo (UNIUYO)\nUsumanu Danfodiyo University (UDUSOK)\nThe National Universities Commission (NUC) is a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Education that grants approval for all academic programmes run in Nigerian universities.
